IN THE WATER,
Is the Element We Drink Decimating
the Peoples
flow Universal Menace TO Health
May be DiSarmed.

A few years ago the people in certain
section in one of the leading cities of the
state were Frustrated with a malignant
disease and upon Investigation it was
found that only those who used water
from famous old well we're the victims.
Professor S. A. baltimore, analyst of
the New York State Board of Health, up
On analyzing water from this well, found
it more deadly than the city sewagel.
The filling up of the old well stopped
the ravages of the disease
Not long since the writer noticed while
some men were making an excavation for
a large building, stratum of dark color
ed earth running from near the surface
to hard pan. There it took another
course toward a well near at hand. The
water from this we'll had for years been
tainted with the DRAWINGS from recelv,
ing vault, the percolations of which had
discolored the earth!
Terrible!
A similar condition of things exists in
every village and city where well water Is
lsed, and though the fltering which the
fluids receive in passing through the earth
nay give tn m Il ce'c appearance, yet tho
llso on and disease remains, though the
water may look never 50 clear.
1t is still worse with the farmer, for
the Drainage from the barn yaer and the
slops from the kitchen eventually find
their way into the family we'll
The same condition of things exists IN
our large cities, whose water supplies are
'iyers fed by little streams that carry
The filth and drainage from houses. This
"sater" is eventually drunk by rich and
poor alike with great evil.
Some cautious people resort to the fill
er for purifying this water, but even the
otter does not remove this poison, for
water of the most deadly character may
pass through this filter and become clear,
YET the poison disguised is there.
They who use filters know that they
must be renewed at regular periods, for
even though they do not take out all the
impurity, they soon become foul.
Now in like manner this human kidneys
act as filter for the blood, and if they
are filled up with impurities and become
foul, like the filter, all the blood in the
system coursing through them becomes
bad, for il is now conceded fact That
the kidneys are the chief means whereby
the blood is purified. These organs are
filled with thousands of hair-tike tubes
which drain the impurities from the
blood, as tho sewer pipes drain impuri
ties from our houses.
If q sewer pipe breaks under the house,
the sewage escapes into the earth and
fills the house with poisonous gas SO if
any of the thousand and onelit hair
| like sewer tubes of the kidneys break
down, the entire body is affected by this
awful poison.
1t is a scientific fact that the kidneys
/ have few nerves of sensation; aud, conse-
quently, disease may exist in these or.
/ CANS for long time and not be suspect
ed by the individual. 1t is impossible to
filter or take the death out of the
/ blood when the least arrangement exists
| IN these organs, and if the blood is not
! Uttered then the uric acid or kidney poi
son, removable only by Warmers safe
cure, accumulates in the system and at
tacks any organ, producing nine out of
ten ailments, Just as sewer gas and bad
| drainage produce so many fatal disorders.
Kidney disease may be known to exist
/ if there is any marked departure from or
binary health without apparent known
cause, and it should be understood by all
! that the greatest peril exists, and is in
! tensifed, if there is the least neglect TO
treat it promptly with that great specific,
! Warmers safe cure, remedy that has re-
ceived tao highest recognition by scien-
tiic men who have thoroughly in
vestigatcd the character of kidney do
| rangemcnts.
i hey may not tell us that the cause of
so Ianny diseases in this organ IS the i'm
1 pure wator or any other ono thing, but
this poisonous water with its impurities
/ couysing cons family through these delicate
! organs undoubtedly does produce much OF
/ the decay and disease which eventually
terminate in the fatal Brighps disease,
! for this disease, alike among the drink
ing men, prohibitionists, the tobacco
slave, the laborer, the merchant and the
tramp, works terrible devastation every
| year.
! II is well known that the liver which is
so easily thrown "out of gear" as they
| say, very readily disturbs the action of
the Kidneys. That organ when derang ed,
! Immediately announces the fact by sallOw
/ skin, constipated bowels coated tongue,
/ and headaches, but the kidney when dis
| eased, struggles on for a long time, and
| the fact of its disease can only be discov-
/ cred by the aid of the microscope or by
/ the physician who is skillful enough to
4 trace the most indirect effects in the sys-
| ten to the arrangement of these organs,
as the prime cause.
/ The pubic is learning much on this
subject and when it comes to understand
THAT the kidneys are the real health regu-
/ latOrs, as they are the real blood purifiers
Of the system, they will escape an infinite
amount of unnecessary suffering, and add
! length OF days and Happiness to their lot
